Service workers

For Web Developers

What is service worker?

Debugging

Working with a service worker is a little different than normal debugging. Check out Service Worker Debugging for details.

Track Status

Service workers shipped in Chrome 40 (which was promoted to stable channel in January 2015).

Is Service Worker Ready? tracks the implementation status of service worker at a fine-grained, feature-by-feature level in many popular browsers.

File Bugs

Go to http://crbug.com/new and include "service worker" in the summary. You should get a response from an engineer in about one week.

If the browser crashed while you were doing Service Worker development, go to chrome://crashes and cut and paste the Crash ID into the bug report. This kind of bug report is very valuable to us. (If you do not see crashes in chrome://crashes it may be because you chose not to send usage statistics and crash reports to Google. You can change this option in chrome://settings .)
